That's really it. I love Gary Numan. Music about being an android, weirdly sexual performances, synths, surprisingly great guitar stuff. Noise. Prince covers.
Gary Numan is awesome.

He was always political. He supported Thatcher. Like, that's like an American hardcore band supporting Reagan in the 80's.

Yes. Cars is one of those infectious riffs that stays with me for life.
The kind of go-to humming material I'll hear coming from my head...even if it's been months (or years) since hearing the song.
And this ranks among my favorite covers of all time:

Gary Numan is pretty cool. Took me awhile to be okay with his singing, but I tend to enjoy his music.

I am fully aware that it is weird, but my favorite Gary Numan stuff is actually his middle era, between synthy new wave and crunchy industrial, when he was like a sad android pining for love. Machine+Soul and the Fury being what I think of off the top of my head. There's always been a strange, cocky, sexual side to Gary that I really like.
